Thanks I checked it out and it looks good. I was able to get a couple of free samples by calling a manufacturer and the stuff is impressive.
I can see a lot of uses so it is good to find a source like this.

UHMW It's used quite extensively in industrial machines as guides or wear strips, It is easy to cut and shape. Speaking of free stuff I got a free linear shaft and bearing from "MISUMI by going to their web site , it measures 4" long,3/8 dia. tiny but it's free,maybe i'll put it to use as a gauge stop or something.
